Meet Stina

Some people catch the travel bug — I was practically born with it. I’ve traveled to more than 20 countries and genuinely love the planning process just as much as the trip itself. Over the years, I’ve organized everything from my own 120-person destination wedding in Mexico to countless trips with friends and family around the world.

When we had two children in under two years, I knew travel would look a little different — but I wasn’t ready to give it up. Like many parents, I quickly realized that traveling with little ones adds a whole new layer of logistics.

But something magical happened when we started traveling with our village.

When grandparents joined us, friends brought their kids, and everyone shared the experience together, vacations became easier — and far more meaningful. The kids had built-in playmates, grandparents loved being part of the memories, and parents could actually relax.

That realization became the inspiration behind Village on Vacation: thoughtfully planned group trips designed to bring your people together and create unforgettable memories.

Before launching Village on Vacation, I spent years building partnerships with leading hospitality brands including Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Omni while working at ResortPass. That experience gave me an insider perspective on how the hospitality industry operates and allowed me to develop lasting relationships across the industry.

Today, I help families and friends travel smarter, stress less, and enjoy the kind of trips where the best memories are made together.
